People have mentioned C-s before. It's not the same as vi's f
command, but maybe good enough.

I think this doesn't exist in Emacs. Emacs has the equivalent of
"w", but no equivalent of "W". Maybe C-M-f comes close: whereas M-f
would stop at the dash in foo-bar, C-M-f would not. (M-f is the
Emacs equivalent of vi's "w".)

Emacs automatically recognizes the EOL convention of files it reads.
So, normally, C-x C-f is enough. After that, saving with C-x C-s
preserves the EOL convention.
